Preparations
C Connecting to a TV with component jacks
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by
connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to
your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an
adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Selecting the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position
• If your television accommodates the PAL color system format
and does not support the progressive scanning mode:
Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “PAL 625i.”
• If your television accommodates the NTSC color system format
and does not support the progressive scanning mode:
Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “NTSC 525i.”
• If your television accommodates the NTSC color system format
and supports the progressive scanning mode:
Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “NTSC 525i/p
REMOTE.”
Thus you can select the desired scanning mode using the
remote control unit.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote
control unit
When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL
SELECTOR is set to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE,” press and hold
down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.
The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning
and Interlaced scanning modes.
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P]
indicator lights up in the display window.
Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and
whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-
source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs,
as shown in the table below.
NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect
the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets
that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the
unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the
Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced
scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set,
contact your local JVC customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully
compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).
• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s)
only to the jack(s) you want to use.

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality
picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the
progressive video input.
• The Progressive scanning mode works for the NTSC color
system format only.

About the scanning mode

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs
can be classified into two types; film source and video source
(note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source
and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-
second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded
as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced)
information.
When the player plays back a film source material,
uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the
original information. When a video source material is played
back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines
on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the
progressive signal.
